Best Flight Training Schools In Texas

Paragon Flight in Fort Myers, FL, provides flight training that will far surpass even the best schools in Texas. Make the trip to Southwest Florida to attend a premiere flight school with a custom program of study designed around you.

In the end, the program we create will result in a thoroughly trained, skilled, and ready pilot. Learn here at your own pace, on your own timetable. We’re FAA-approved under FAR Parts 141 and 61, enjoy perfect weather for takeoff all year long, and treat every student-pilot with the personal attention they deserve.

The Paragon Flight journey allows student-pilots to progress toward their goals safely and sufficiently. Our fleet includes new, reliable, and well-kept Technically Advanced Aircraft, including the Piper PA28 “Pilot,” Cessna C172S Skyhawk, Piper PA-44-180 Seminole, Cessna T182T Skylane, Cirrus SR20 G6, Cirrus SR22 G5/G6, and ALSIM AL172 Flight Simulator. We use the standards of training for each of the types of flight we train for including sport, single-engine, and multi-engine aircraft.

Paragon Flight Programs

Students come to us for a wide range of programs.

Not only can student-pilots earn their Private Pilot License, but they can also add the Instrument Flight Rating and Multi-Engine Rating to it.

For the Commercial Pilot License, you can begin as either a single- or multi-engine pilot or add the multi-engine rating later. You’ll also be able to earn your Flight Instructor Certification (CFI/CFII/MEI).

We also serve the military and government with Initial Flight Orientation (IFO), Single Engine Recurrent Training (SERT), Rotary Wing to Fixed Wing Transition Training, and Aircraft Transition and Differences Training.

Learn from the Best

Paragon Flight employs the best flight instructors, from a pool of the best around. Our team has a wide breadth of expertise and experience and has been recognized repeatedly for quality and performance. Being a haven for pilots, Southwest Florida is rich in Certified Flight Instructors, and we take full advantage. With the depth of our flight instructor pool, we’re able to provide a best-fit promise, where the instructor provided will mesh with your learning style and ambitions.

The Jeppesen curriculum that we use is of similar quality, produced by a Boeing subsidiary and proven to graduate ready pilots in less than 30% of the national average.

The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, otherwise known as AOPA, has recognized Paragon Flight repeatedly throughout the years since our founding in 2006. We’re well known as a bastion of excellence when it comes to quality flight instruction.

A significant part of this excellence is beyond our control. It’s the weather. More than 350 days of the year exhibit ideal weather conditions for takeoff. We also operate out of the hub of general aviation in Southwest Florida and offer a tower-controlled runway and several nearby practice airfields.

Financing Your Flight Training

Your budget doesn’t have to stay in the way of your training. Students and veterans can take advantage of our Part 141 status and use student loans or GI benefits, and for Part 61 students with busy lifestyles and obligations, we offer contacts for financing with some of the lenders we frequently find helpful.

Paragon Flight fulfills dreams of hopeful aviators with the best flight training available whether you’re considering schools in Texas, Florida, or any other state in the region. Learn more by clicking here or calling (239) 274-3170.
